QTR-Quadtone RIP

I'm doing the same thing with the same issues. It isn't a problem with
Roy's curves creating this posterization. There is still a problem
with the M cart having the wrong density dilution in it. Essentially
there are two carts that have the same ink in them. Stop printing and
contact IJM if they haven't emailed you yet. They are totally aware of
the issue, and contacting all of us, and will have it straighted out
by the first of the week. This is a great inkset though. It was a
factory production problem. This is a remarkable inkset for these
printers. I can see that already and makes them into something very
nice indeed, if we can ever get started.
